Lake Tahoe is a hub for outdoor enthusiasts. Its crystal clear water, plethora of hiking trails, pristine ski slopes, and endless evergreen views entice travelers year round. I’ve been to Lake Tahoe countless times (I grew up a day’s drive away in Los Angeles), and have stayed at the resorts and boutique hotels. But there’s nothing quite like sharing a homey space with your friends and family for a few days. From elegant lakeside cabins to modern mountain homes, Airbnb offers a range of properties you’ll love. Here are our favorite Lake Tahoe Airbnbs.
VILLA DE LAGO THE LAKE HOUSE
For a slice of serenity, stay at this secluded lakeside villa. The best part is the property’s private pier, where you can enjoy your morning coffee, hop into a kayak, or watch the sunset over the evergreens. The villa itself is modern and chic while staying true to the mountain atmosphere with rustic wood elements. We especially love the floor-to-ceiling windows. As for amenities, there are four bedrooms, a dedicated workspace, a private hot tub, a pool table, and security cameras
